Re: [Xen-users] What do you do for Xen 4.2?

[Peter Braun <xenware@xxxxxxxxx>]

There is security flaw but beside RHEL we dont see response on other
vendors yet.

Is xen.org official tarbal updated yet?

Both gitco.de and choon.net - there is no update yet.
Even alpinelinux.org which I am very interested in has no xen
hypervisor update yet.
Another Xen 4.1.2 repo
http://www.crc.id.au/xen-on-rhel6-scientific-linux-6-centos-6-howto/
is not updated too.

I don have Xenserver by citrix - is their product updated?


For 4.1.2 seems like only viable options are Debian Squeezy and Ubuntu
12.04 right now.
